Edinburgh airport is the busiest airport in Scotland, owned by BAA with Ryanair, Easyjet & Flyglobespan offering the most destinations from here. Edinburgh airport is located just a few miles from the city centre so it is only a short drive to get to the core of Edinburgh.

Several car hire companies including Avis, Budget and Hertz are available at the airport all offering a wide range of cars to make sure there is something for everyone, whether you want a 7 seater or a supermini.

Car Hire or Public Transportation

Public transportation is comfortable and convenient…to a point. The user needs to be able to learn travelling times and schedules in order to be able to make the most of his or her day. If they are not acquainted with the surroundings, it is almost certain that they will get lost more than once and will end up using a cab, wasting additional time and money while punting a dent to what otherwise would be a problem-free vacation.

The best way to visit not only Edinburgh but also the rest of Scotland is to have a car hire service that will provide comfortable and secure transportation. Hopefully you will have enough time to discover all the wonderful richness that Edinburgh has to offer its visitors but if not some of the top places to visit are Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Zoo.
